Understanding Your Score on the Work Locus of Control Scale
The Work Locus of Control Scale is designed to assess control beliefs in the workplace. Individuals who feel that they are very much in charge of their own destiny in the workplace have an internal locus of control; those who think that events in their work life are due mainly to fate/luck or powerful others have an external locus of control. Scores on the scale can range from 16 to 96. Higher scores indicate that you have a higher external work locus of control. Lower scores indicate more of an internal work locus of control. The average score for employees and students in Canada and the United States is 40.
